Scientists at the Lexington Hospital began mapping the brain to learn the effects of many abused substances and the causes of addiction. Drugs studied range from the opiates and barbiturates to nicotine and cocaine. The Addiction Research Center neuroscientists are continuing this pioneering work to identify receptor sites in the nervous system for all types of psychoactive drugs. The work includes basic molecular studies, preclinical work with animals, and clinical studies with human volunteers.
